Still I Rise Podcast
Featuring everyday Shereos sharing inspiring stories of how they persevered after a life- altering event.
Story Crafting is a program of You Night Empowering Events and the We Lift You Up Fund - a 501c3 public charity. Our primary focus is to address emotional healing and to help women find a path forward after a cancer diagnosis. However, future plans include stories of trials and triumph from every walk of life.
Thank you to our sponsor, Dr. Martha Stewart, Board Certified Dermatologist
Dr. Martha E. Stewart is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and specializes in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology for patients of all ages. Dermatology plays an important role in detecting and treating skin cancer. Skin cancer is almost always curable if detected and treated early.
Skin cancers vary in shape, color, size and texture, so any new, changed or otherwise suspicious growths or rashes should be examined immediately by a board certified dermatologist. Early intervention is essential to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Still I Rise Podcast
"The Rose" by Audrey Walsh
An excerpt from Audrey's story: "My guiding light has been my children and my now husband. My son, at the age of fourteen, was wiser than he knew. The day I received the call for the biopsy, my son looked at me and said “Mom don’t worry, you will be just fine.” My son and daughter helped in every way possible- from learning to change the dressings to taking care of the radiation burns. My son would come to radiation with me so I wasn’t alone and I had a puppy to keep me moving. I took my puppy for walks since I could not just let him out into a yard. My future husband came to stay with me and asked me again to marry him, but again, I refused. He persisted and proved to me that he was the one. We married after my treatment was finished, in the Gloria Gemma office, with Maria as a witness, my two children and Gary Calvino officiating. I have learned from life experience that strength and wisdom can come from the places and people that you would never expect. I have grown into a beautiful pink tea rose with many, many petals.
You can overcome anything with the help of friends and family."
